Re: Disable direct tcp connection from BES server

I searched for the permissions above but it seems to me that they can be checked out and changed by the application running on the BB device, is that right?

If the permissions can be changed from the device, it is not a problem at all...

I need to know if it is possible from the BES server to set a policy such that a device cannot do direct tcp connections with ";deviceside=true".

I need to know this because my application could be installed on a personal device as well as on an enterprise device and I must be sure that I can always do direct tcp connections to avoid the "HTTP 413 error" caused by the download limit of the BES.

I know that from the BES server some features on the device can be disabled such as the camera, is that possible also for direct tcp connections?

Re: Disable direct tcp connection from BES server

There is an IT Policy to disable External non-Enterprise Connections. I have always assumed that this meant that any direct connection to a Server (WAP, Direct TCP) was not allowed, but have never tested this.
